Matt, /etc/fstab is one of the items excluded by /etc/systemimager/updateclient.local.exclude. If you would like /etc/fstab to be updated when you run si_updateclient, just comment it out in that file.
If you want to do this on all machines, then do this: 1) edit /etc/systemimager/updateclient.local.exclude in your image. 2) si_update all machines (they get the new exclude file) 3) si_update all machines again -- they now get the new fstab file. Oh yeah, a side note: the auto-install script is only used during an auto-install, and is not used during an update. Cheers, -Brian Thus spake Brenner, Matthew A. ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Hi, I a new user of SystemImager. I'm quite impressed. I'm using it in a classroom containing one server (2 network cards) and 15 classroom machines; all running Debian Sarge. I got my server and one classroom machine configured correctly and then installed SystemImager-server on my server and SystemImager-client on the workstation. I followed instruction from the manual faithfully and imaged the remaining 14 machines. Next I made some changes to the first workstation. Amoung other things, I added a line to /etc/fstab to mount another file system using NFS. Naturally, I fetched the new image from the workstation to the server and it took only a short time as I used the image name (so it was only an 'update'). Now, when I run si_updateclient on another workstation, a small number of files gets deleted and another bunch added (including /etc/fstab) but after si_updateclient finishes (message: Installation finished. No errors reported) the update seems to be successful, EXCEPT for /etc/fstab which had NOT changed. I peeked at the master script and the fstab data in there is correct! I peeked at fstab in the /etc directory of the image tree and fstab is correct! What is going on that would cause SystemImager to fail to overwrite the old /etc/fstab with the new one?
